Looks like they are aiming for a 5:00 end time, including awards. Many of us will have new drive teams that are just getting used to the speed of competition. On occasion key members of a team may graduate and those left behind struggle with maintaining the robot and its programming. And then there will be those surprises where the robot and drivers have actually improved over the summer. Either way it is a great event and seeing our out of state friends like 967 make it even more special. |

Re: 2012 Cowtown Throwdown
This is a crazy idea I had, am would like to propose.
At CTTD, I would like to put together a "Robot Style" (Gangnam Style Parody) video. This would mostly consist of me and some others dancing through the pits and stands, and some robot footage at the "ayy, sexy lady" part, but I would like for maybe a big group of many different teams to do the ending scene, where there are many people Gangnam-ing (This could be done in a Hotel, or maybe the arena, although I do not know the specs of where we are competing.). This is just a concept, and might not fall through, but I think it would be an awesome and fun chance to meet many people and produce a fun FIRST video. Edit: PM me if you are interested Last edited by Walter Deitzler : 30-09-2012 at 20:13. |

About a week a go Rex mentioned the update would be out soon, which probably means the committee was meeting or had already decided. PS. I am not on the committee, and have no inside information. Last edited by Alpha Beta : 30-09-2012 at 21:25. |

Re: 2012 Cowtown Throwdown
Rule changes on http://cttd-robotics.com/pages/compe...on_information
1. +5 pounds allowed. Honor system, unless the referees question you. 2. No Co-Op points. Ranking based on win-loss and the existing tie-breakers. 3. Alliances may balance 3 on their alliance bridge during qualifications. Three robots balanced is worth 40 points. |

Re: 2012 Cowtown Throwdown
The field of competitors for this year's edition of the Cowtown Throwdown is impressive. I wish I could make it to KC as a volunteer or spectator, but my day job calls me out of the country that weekend.
The Bomb Squad have owned every Rebound Rumble court, starting in KC. Can anyone stop them? |

Re: 2012 Cowtown Throwdown
By my last calculation, our 2012 competition robot has traveled almost 9000 miles in the trailer, a shipping crate, or the back of my SUV. Its last several outings have been with me letting hundreds of Arkansas students and teachers operate it and television appearances. There may be nothing left to stop!

Re: 2012 Cowtown Throwdown
We won't be there this year, but next year is definitely a possibility!
